Description
Human LIN28A and B are RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) conserved in animals with important roles during development and stem cell reprogramming. We used Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) in HEK293 cells and identified a largely overlapping set of ~3,000 mRNAs at ~9,500 sites located in the 3’UTR and CDS. In vitro and in vivo, LIN28 preferentially bound single-stranded RNA containing a uridine-rich element and one or more flanking guanosines, and appeared to be able to disrupt base-pairing to access these elements when embedded in predicted secondary structure. In HEK293 cells, LIN28 protein binding mildly stabilized target mRNAs and increased protein abundance. The top targets were its own mRNAs and those of other RBPs and cell-cycle regulators. Alteration of LIN28 protein levels also negatively regulated the abundance of some, but not all let-7 miRNA family members, indicating sequence-specific binding of let-7 precursors to LIN28 proteins and competition with cytoplasmic miRNA biogenesis factors. Overall design: To assess whether miRNAs are regulated by LIN28B we analyzed the miRNA levels of LIN28B overexpressing and LIN28B-depleted cells using small RNA cDNA library sequencing. The RBP LIN28B was depleted by siRNAs and the expression levels was compared to mock-transfected HEK293 cells.
